"War Crimes (The Crime is still the same)" ( Jerry Dammers )
Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the boot
Can you hear them crying in the rubble of Beirut?
I can still see pleople dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same
From the graves of Belsen where the innocent were burned
To the genocide in Beirut, Israel was nothing learned?
I can still hear people crying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same
Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the boot
From the graves of Belsen, to the ruins of Beirut
I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same.
A opção musical dos Specials, tal como a dos respectivos sucedâneos ( Specials AKA, Fun Boy Three, Colour Field ), nunca foi o meu "cup of tea". Não obstante, a corajosa abordagem política de "War Crimes (The crime is still the same)", single publicado pela 2Tone a 22 de Novembro de 1982, escassos dois meses após os massacres de Sabra e Chatila terem sido perpretados, mais do que justifica esta referência.
